[Verse 1]
Screen glow on my face at midnight
Hate scroll
Jealous eyes
Cheap thrill
Every headline feels like a fistfight
Every comment cuts a little too real
I keep feeding this thing my secrets
It keeps feeding right back on me
All these pictures of perfect people
Make my own scars harder to see
[Chorus]
I’m running from the beast in the wires
Teeth made of rumors and doubt and desire
Clawing at the doorway of my mind
But you pull me back
You pull me back
You’re the hand through the smoke and the fire
Only truth in this kingdom of liars
If the world burns out
I don’t mind
‘Cause you’re my world
You’re my world
[Verse 2]
Some days I can’t leave the bedroom
Shame sits heavy on my chest
Every heartbeat sounds like an old wound
Every sunrise feels like a test
I hear all the ghosts of my failures
Laughing loud in the quiet night
But your footsteps cross that cold floor
And the dark steps out of the light (oh)
[Chorus]
I’m running from the beast in the wires
Teeth made of rumors and doubt and desire
Clawing at the doorway of my mind
But you pull me back
You pull me back
You’re the hand through the smoke and the fire
Only truth in this kingdom of liars
If the world burns out
I don’t mind
‘Cause you’re my world
You’re my world
[Bridge]
You say my name like it’s not broken
Kiss my eyes
My shaking hands
Take my phone
Turn off the poison
Lay my head on solid ground again
You remind me I’m more than my history
More than pictures
More than shame
If I lose myself in that endless mirror
You call me back by my real name (yeah)
[Chorus]
I’m running from the beast in the wires
Teeth made of rumors and doubt and desire
Clawing at the doorway of my mind
But you pull me back
You pull me back
You’re the hand through the smoke and the fire
Only truth in this kingdom of liars
If the world burns out
I don’t mind
‘Cause you’re my world
You’re my world
You’re my world
You’re my world
